June 8 Monday  At 7 AM, Livy gave birth to Clara Langdon Clemens, their second daughter, named after Livy’s friend, Clara Spaulding. The baby weighed nearly eight pounds, “which is colossal for Livy,” Sam wrote on June 10 to Orion and Mollie [MTL 6: 155].

From Charles E. Perkins ’ cash book, Sam’s account: “To po Fox & Co. [Hartford Grocers]  48.02” [Berg collection, NYPL]. Note: Fox billed by the month, so this bill was for purchases prior to leaving for Elmira.
